The British Service Records and Navy Lists pay scant attention to individual submarines, as regard their commanders. This disregard is most keenly apparent in the earliest days of the type. Often, a given submarine commander is listed in a Navy List as being appointed to a submarine depot ship "for command of submarines", with the specific sub (or subs) being omitted. This invites the interpretation that the submarines may have, in some cases, been treated as taxi cabs within a fleet.
